[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a comprehensive experimental simulation platform for meteorological and geological disasters on loess slopes, which uses multi-system linkage to simulate the complex action mechanism of real slope disasters.

[0022] The experimental platform consists of an external angle steel frame 1, with a spray plate 2 mounted on top. The spray plate 2, along with a spray pump 5, a circulation pump 6, a water flow regulating valve 4, a water storage tank 7, and a filter tank 8, forms a rainfall system to simulate the impact of rainfall on the stability of loess slopes under different rainfall conditions. Specifically, the water storage tank 7 is connected to the spray pump 5 via an inlet pipe 3. The outlet of the spray pump 5 is equipped with a water flow regulating valve 4 and a return pipe 10, which is finally connected to the spray plate 2 via the inlet pipe 3. The return pipe 10 can recover the water remaining in the inlet pipe 3 when the simulated rainfall stops. The spray pump 5 and the water flow regulating valve 4 are controlled by a PLC control box 11. The water flow data is then transmitted from the PLC control box 11 to a computer terminal 12 for real-time monitoring and control of rainfall intensity. The filter tank 8 filters the water that flows to the bottom of the model during simulated rainfall. The filter tank is connected to a circulation pipe 9, and the water in the filter tank 8 is recovered by the circulation pump 6 and returned to the water storage tank 7.

[0023] The upper part of the angle steel frame 1 is also equipped with a loading plate 19. The loading plate 19, together with the loading cylinder 20, air regulating valve 21, air pump 17, pressure sensor 22, etc., form a surcharge loading system to simulate the changes in slope surcharge. Specifically, the loading plate 19 is connected to the loading cylinder 20. The loading cylinder 20 transmits power to the air pump 17 through the air supply pipe 18. The power is controlled by the air regulating valve 21, thereby controlling the pressure of the loading plate 19 on the slope surface. The loading plate 19 is equipped with a pressure sensor 22, which monitors the pressure on the slope surface during the loading process. It, along with the air pump 17 and air regulating valve 21, is controlled by a PLC control box 11, and the PLC control box 11 transmits the data to the computer terminal 12 for real-time monitoring and control of the surcharge loading intensity.

[0024] The bottom of the slope model 13 is equipped with a vibrator 15. The vibrator 15, together with the frequency converter 23 and the power supply 26, forms a vibration loading system to simulate the impact of loads such as seismic waves and blasting vibration waves on the stability of the loess slope. Specifically, the vibrator 15 and the frequency converter 23 are installed on the upper part of the base plate 16. The two are connected to the PLC control box 11 and the computer terminal 12. Power is provided by the power supply 26, and the frequency converter 23 is controlled by the computer terminal 12. The frequency converter 23 controls the vibrator 15 to simulate the impact of loads such as seismic waves and blasting vibration waves on the stability of the loess slope.

[0025] The slope model 13 is equipped with components such as an angle cylinder 24, an angle sensor 25, and an adjusting base plate 16 at its lower part. These components are used to simulate changes in the base angle of a loess slope and to analyze the stability of loess slopes located on ancient landslides or on rocky bases. Specifically, the angle steel frame 1 has an angle cylinder 24 connected to the lower part, which is connected to the adjusting base plate 16 to correct the angle of the adjusting base plate 16 and simulate loess slope bases at different angles. The angle cylinder 24 is connected to an air pump 17, with an air regulating valve in between. The entire system is controlled by a PLC control box 11. An angle sensor 25 is installed at the connection between the adjusting base plate 16 and the water filter tank 8 to monitor changes in the slope angle. The adjusting base plate 16 is designed to be telescopic, allowing its length to be adjusted according to changes in the angle.

[0026] In a specific embodiment of this application, the external structure of the experimental platform is an angle steel frame 1 with dimensions of 500mm × 800mm × 1000mm. Based on the physical simulation similarity conditions and model size ratio, the geometric similarity ratio of the model is determined to be within the range of 100-20, and the bulk density similarity ratio is 1. A base plate is set at the bottom of the experimental platform frame, on which similar material models can be laid. The similar materials include river sand, clay, gypsum, borax, white powder, cork chips, etc. The similar material mix is ​​designed according to the mechanical parameters of loess. The range of physical and mechanical parameters such as density, compressive strength, cohesion, internal friction angle, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the similar materials are obtained through weighing, uniaxial compression test, Brazilian splitting test, and direct shear test. The ratio law of the physical and mechanical parameters of the similar materials is determined by empirical equation regression model.

[0027] In a specific embodiment of this application, the nozzles of the spray plate 2 are arranged in an equidistant array to simulate real rainfall as much as possible; the spray pump 5 and the spray plate 2 serve to pump water and simulate rainfall, and the intensity of the simulated rainfall can be controlled by the water flow regulating valve 4. The circulating pump 6 then pumps the rainwater from the filter tank 8 for recycling.

[0028] In one specific embodiment of this application, the loading plate 19 is connected to the loading cylinder 20, and the loading intensity is controlled by adjusting the air pump 17 through the air regulating valve 21. A pressure sensor 22 is also installed to detect the actual pressure on the slope surface. Vibration loading can be superimposed on the entire process of rainfall, surcharge, and angle adjustment. A frequency converter 23 is used to precisely control the vibration frequency and amplitude, taking into account both seismic wave and blasting vibration simulations, thus enhancing the research capability for slope response under various complex working conditions.

[0029] In one specific embodiment of this application, an adjustment base plate 16, an angle sensor 25, an angle cylinder 24, and an air regulating valve 2 are provided below the angle steel frame 1. A closed-loop control system using a cylinder-driven + angle sensor is employed, and a variable angle base plate combined with a pneumatic control mechanism is designed. This allows for dynamic adjustment of the slope base inclination angle and real-time angle adjustment during loading, simulating the landslide-collapse evolution process in a natural environment, thus improving the realism and operability of the experiment.

[0030] In one specific embodiment of this application, a distributed fiber optic sensor 14 is arranged inside the slope model 13 to collect fiber optic sensor signals, thereby realizing synchronous full-domain monitoring of multiple parameters such as stress, strain, temperature, humidity, and acceleration inside the slope. Combined with a high-definition camera and a PLC system, the data fusion analysis of the entire process of slope instability evolution is realized.

[0031] The simulation platform described in this application includes the following steps in its actual use:

[0032] 1. First, before the experiment, fill the water tank 7 with water, connect the power supply 26, and start the PLC control box 11 and the computer terminal 12 used for the experiment.

[0033] 2. Based on the slope base angle required for the experiment, use the computer terminal 12 and PLC control box 11 to control the air pump 17, air regulating valve 2, and angle cylinder 24 according to the data from the angle sensor 25, and set up the adjustment base plate 16.

[0034] 3. Prepare the slope test soil according to the required proportions, dry the model in a drying room, monitor the moisture content of the material, and ensure that it meets the experimental requirements.

[0035] 4. Build the experimental slope model 13, and lay out the distributed optical fiber sensors 14 and connect the optical fiber data acquisition device 28 according to the experimental requirements.

[0036] 5. Control the rainfall system, stacking loading system and vibration loading system as needed through the computer terminal 12 and PLC control box 11, start the high-definition camera 27, monitor and record the data of each sensor and save the video data of the high-definition camera 27.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
